Lake Powell

Lake Powell-Halls Creek Bay

Last trip of the summer. It was the least crowded I remember Lake Powell ever being in the summertime. They say its because of the price of gas. We went with Kimberly and her family, our family and Jason. Jess and Mom and Dad were out for this trip. We decided to go to try and keep our minds off the stress of dad's surgery.
We had a good trip and the most exciting event was teaching Isaac to wakeboard and waterski. He was able to pick up on both easily. He is the most coordinated kid around and he was waterskiing for so long we finally had to tell him to let go. He was mad at us after that. A watersport lover is born.

The kids love to watch the watersports!

Lake Powell is such a beautiful place. It has so many memories for me and I hope that my kids will love it the way I do. Its not just the fun that makes the vacation it is the company. I love my family a lot and hope to have many more Lake Powell Days!

St. George

Last weekend we headed south to St. George for some much needed sunshine. The weather was beautiful, low 70's and sunny. (I definitely have spring fever.) We had a relaxing, fun weekend. In fact, I told David that I wished I could stay there. (I'm back to school getting in the way of my life, oh well...) The boys played outside, hooray! Soccer, golf, croquet, bikes and the park. We also went on a little hike for the first time. It was Jenny's trail in Snow Canyon and was our first family hike. The boys really loved it. When we finished the hike Truman dumped red sand out of his shoes all over the car. David commented that in a few years our boys will be at a really fun age to start enjoying all that outdoor stuff. Right now it is fun watching them discover and learn new things. We had a great time!
